almost mean confscation of large part
of tie value indicated in the original Sc
curties. The mileage represented is
more than double that of any year in the
past decade except 1879, and far greater
than in that year, while the stock and
debt total is far larger than in any other
gear, and nearly 30 per cent. mere than
in 1885. This alarming exhibit is somewhat
redeemed by the fact that the number

decrease, only thirteen roads with an ag-

Special to the Gazette.
WATERFRONT, TEX, Jan. Maj. a
r. Andrews, after being absent from
Weatherford for the past five days on
railroad business, returned yesterday
morning and, as chairman of the railroad
committee Of Westherford, called q
meeting of that committee yesterday
evening, at which meeting it was decided
to hold a meeting of the railroad
committees from the different
towns between Weatherford and
Corsicana on next Tuesday, the
18th inst. at II N. at the Grand Windsor
Hotel, Dallas, for the purpose of holding
a conference in -elation to the proposed

Mr.. John Hensley of Jacksboro, one of
the most prominent men in Jack county
and one of the instigators of the Denton
and Western Railroad project, spent the
day in this city yesterday and left for
home this morning via the Fort aud DeCa-
tur. In conversation with THE GAZETTE
correspondent, Mr.. Hensley said that
there were no ifs nor ands in the matter
of building the Denton and Western pro-
vided the Gulf and Pacific or the Fort
Worth and Northwestern does not build
to Jacksboro; tina. the natural resources
of the town and county demand road
and road they are going to have If the
citizens have it to build. He says that
the immense stone quarries there, with
many other natural resources, loudly
call for road and it must come. Mr.. Hens
ley said that when the Weatherford read
gets under fair Roadway of construction
that Jacksboro will bid tor an extension
to that city When Mr.. Hensley SAID that
Jacksboro had to have road if her citi
zens had it to build, he spoke in his usual
firm way, and it was easy to note that
he meant business. He said their COM
mittee was now waiting on the Gulf and
Pacific peop.e until the 18th, but by that
time, if they have not something definite
to offer, the Denton and Western will be

Indiana,s Sons Divided.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Jan. There
was large attendance of visitors at the
capitol to-day, although nothing particu-
larry exciting was expected. On Thurs
day the senate adopted a resolution to
meet with the house this morning to hear
the governors message read, but when
the senate assembled this action was re-
considered,t the protest Of the Republicans
being unavailing, and the message was
read in the senate by the clerk of that
body. The refusal to go into Joint ses-
sion caused much comment and was &C.
cepted IS meaning that the Democrats
will not consent to Joint session for any
purpose. This surmise was strengthened
at the afternoon session. when the senate
passed resolution declaring that there
was no vacancy in the office Of lieutenant
governor, and declining to 90 into Joint
session for the purpose of canvassing and
declaring the result of the vote at the No.
vember election, and adjourning until
Tuesday. The disappointed for CANVASS
ing and announcing the vote for Iieuten-
ant-gOvernor is Monday. In the house TO-
day the Republican majority, in retaliation
for the extraordinary rules adopted yes
terday by the senate, adopted set of reg
ulatlons fully as arbitrary as those of the
upper body. The effect in either house
will be that the majority can summary
and quickly unseat any member of the
minority rightfully or wrongtully. The
governors message, owing to the refusal
Of the senate to participate in Joint
session was laid on the table
without reading, and the house adjourned
until morning. 1t is now understood
that the speaker Of the house will on
Monday declare and publish the result of
the election for Acknowledgements, and
that when the senate assemblies on Tues
day, he will appear and assert his rights
as presiding officer of that body. His
claim will be denied, and what recourse
he will take is as yet matter of copjec-
ture. The air is full Of surmises and ru-
mors, and quo warranto proceedings are
suggested, and also the question of two
legislatures.
